CCTV went to the Museum of Fine Arts for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and facilitated a youth camera training with the students from Beacon Academy. The goal was to use the Museum's collection as a starting point for thinking about human rights. Human rights refer to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. The videos represent the student's perspective on rights evoked (or abused) in a specific piece. There was no wrong answer as art has many complex and varied interpretations, but most importantly, the students were able to use the Flip cameras and the skills from the workshop to post their videos directly to the web.
